Not quite a build thread....

Ooooooo scary...
Wouldn't like to be in that when that gave way (brown trouser time comes to mind).
So if I'm reading this right Westfield do not always use "Top of the range parts" in areas of their build.
Worrying that especially in such a critical area.
I read in Keith Tanners build the company that supplied his chassis also supplied lesser quality parts and suffered suspension problems later on.

Now you told me about that failure on your friends car I'm considering rethinking my rear top wishbone (currently MK5 I believe...LOL).
If I do it will consist of inboard "Heim" adjusters and the shock still above the top upright (this time gonna ask for your opinions before fab).

Unfortuneatly it's too late for my front lower wishbones (redisgned them and fabbed them...ohhh).




I chose to make new lower wishbones to give me clearance for my steering rack extensions when on full droop. Kept the pivot and shock mount points the same just lowered the tubes or "A Arms" (tryin to make "Old Jag Guy" feel at home)....

Front tops are redisgned on paper but not fabbed yet. After reading "Alga's" post on "Self centrering" I'm not sure if I should move the threaded adjuster to the rear of the car more?
I've designed them so they can be adjustable without removing the top ball joint from the upright. Will post a picture when happy with the design.
